[Genome] genome browser question

[Archana Thakkapallayil]

Hello Allison,

Unfortunately there is no way to remove the 'description' attribute from 
the track line. If you leave off the 'description' characteristic from 
your track line, it either displays the track name if it has any or it 
displays the default value, 'User Supplied Tracks'.

However, you could turn off the description of your custom track on the 
browser by using the 'Configure' page. To do this choose "configure" 
from the browser display page, and then uncheck 'Display description 
above each track'. This turns off all the track description lines on the 
browser.

I hope that this answers your question. Please let us know if you have 
further questions.

Regards,

Archana

If I don' t enter a description (e.g. description=" human QTLs" ), the description value is defaulted to my track name -  and then the track name is placed both at the side ( where I want it) and above the line (where I don' t want it).
